Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Disco Night at The Hotel

I got to thinking the other day that maybe the Hotel Melanoma needs a happier, alternative theme song to my knockoff of the Eagles’ “Hotel California”. After all, there are lots of very nice folks living here and it’s quite the supportive community, despite the fact nobody chose to move in. So here’s a new version of Village People’s “Y.M.C.A”…



Mole mates, there's no need to feel down.
I said, mole mates, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, mole mates, 'cause you're in a new realm.
There's no need to be unhappy.

Mole mates, there's a place you can go.
I said, mole mates, when they've whacked all your nodes.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.

They have every med that you need to employ,
You can pale out without sun ploys ...

It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.

You can drug yourself clean, you can make cancer squeal,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Mole mates, are you listening to me?
I said, moles mates, what do you want to be?
I said, mole mates, you can make real your dreams.
But you've got to know this one thing!

No mate does it all by himself.
I said, mole mates, put your tan on the shelf,
And just go there, to the Black Cancer Place.
I'm sure we can help you today.

It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.

They have every med that you need to employ,
You can pale out without sun ploys ...

It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.

You can drug yourself clean, you can make cancer squeal,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Mole mates, I have walked in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no one cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so jive ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, mole mate, take a walk up the street.
It's an inn there called the Black Cancer Place.
They can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place.

They have every med that you need to employ,
You can pale out without sun ploys ...

Black Cancer Place
It's fun to stay at the Black Cancer Place
Mole mates, mole mates there's no need to feel down
Mole mates, mole mates pick yourself off the ground

Black Cancer Place
then just go to the Black Cancer Place
Mole mates, mole mates we are all in same shoes
Moles mates, moles mates I said, we’ve been down and out with the blues.
Black Cancer Place
